The humidification-dehumidification system is one of the desalination technologies that can utilize non-fossil thermal sources and requires insignificant input energy. This system is usually suitable for rural areas and places far from the main sources of energy. The purpose of this study is to obtain the most suitable working conditions and dimensions of this system. In this research, thermody...

World-wide water scarcity, especially in the developing world, indicates a pressing need to develop inexpensive, decentralized small-scale desalination technologies which use renewable resources of energy. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the stateof-the-art in one of the most promising of these technologies, solar-driven humidification-dehumidification (HDH) desalination. Previous...

Abstract The aim of the work was to describe and test a solar desalination system for salt brackish water considering real application, in order provide detailed technical features future plant based on calculated data by modelling approach. main innovative aspect studied consists reproducing, restricted environment, cycle that commonly occurs nature. process is thermal distillation first humid...

A humidification–dehumidification desalination system powered by low-grade waste heat energy (45 °C–70 °C) was experimentally investigated. The seawater directly utilized as coolant (25 for the dehumidifier preheated latent recovery from water vapor produced humidifier. effect of key performance-contributing factors such mass flow rate and temperature air feed at inlets humidifier were evaluate...

This paper aims to introduce thermal energy storage technology into a solar-powered dual-packed bed desalination system. By prehesdating and reserving seawater during the daytime utilizing it at night, integrated system with innovative configuration can achieve freshwater electricity combined generation particularly realize continuous operations for water production. The detailed mathematical m...

In this paper, the performance of a hybrid humidification-dehumidification (HDH) desalination system is experimentally studied. The operates as an Open-Air Closed-Water cycle and utilizes solar air heater to heat input humidifier. An Ammonia absorption refrigeration cooling used condense humid air, producing fresh water. Parameters such temperature relative humidity were measured in different s...
